GEORGEISM.

Mr.. GEORGE is determined to force his
land theories as political issue before
the public. The call for state con-
vention of the United Labor party in
New York, to assemble at Syracuse on
the 18th of August, has just been issued.
The purpose of the convention is to
nominate state ticket to be voted for
at the next November election. The
platform upon which the ticket is to be
nominated is distinctly set forth in the
call. and is evidently written by Mr.
GEORGE. There is to be four distinct
p!ankS i'll the platform. First. the
aboliShing of all taxes on industry or
its products. and the raising of public
revenues from taxation of land values,
the object being to make it Improbable
to hold land for speculation. Secondly.
to do away with the banking system,
and to establish in its stead monetary
system in which a legal tender
circulating medium should be issued by
the government without the interven-
ton of banks. Third, to abolish the
ownership of railroads and telegraphs
by private corporations and the Substi-
tuition OF government ownership. And
i'll the fourth place such changes in
elective and political methods as shall
do away with the necessity for the use
of money in elections. Such in brief is
the platform which Mr.. GEORGE pro-
poses for the new party and to make
sure that the platform shall be adopted
none but those who subscribe to it are to
be entitled to seats in the convention.
When the platform is formally adopted
and the state ticket nominated Mr..
GEORGE and DR.. MCGLYNN will take
the stump and make thorough canvass
of the Empire state, preaching their new
political doctrine at every cross
road. The result of their can
vass will be awaited with interest,
Tor the vote that is polled will determine
the strength of the new party in the En-
pirc state of the Union, and will be a
valuable factor in estimating the prob
able result of the presidential election
next year. In this respect, at least, Mr..
GEORGE is comforting favor upon the
country by forcing his land theory as an
issue in advance of the presidential cleo

THE PRESBYTERIANs.
Basis On Which the Church South
VIII COaIesce.


ST. LOUIS, May 23.-In the Southern
Presbyterian assembly this morning,
the committee on organic union, CO.
operative union or other relations with
the Presbyterian church of the United
States, Dr.. SmOat, of Texas, chairman,
presented three reports. The commit
tee is composed of twenty-six members,
sixteen of whom made a majority re-
port, nine a minority report, and one
what he called minimum minority re-
port. The majority report recommends
the appointment of committee to be
composed of five ministers, five ruling
elders and the moderator of the as
Sembly, to confer with similar conf
mittee from the other assembly, and
consider the whole subject; the COM
mittee to report at the next general as
sembly in May next. This committee
is instructed to take and maintain the
following position: The mere accept
ance of the common standard of our
church confession of faith, longer and
shorter catechism, does not, in our
minds, form sufficient basis of union,
but the acceptance of that peculiar in
depreciation of our standards which af-
firms and emphasizes the purely scrip
tural future of Christ's kingdom, and
fOrbidS her legislating on political or
civil matters, is the only true basis of
union; and further, we insist that the
colOred brethren within our bounds
shall be organized into seperate congre-
cations, presbyteries and synods. Dr.
Smoat read the minority report, and
Rev. w. III. Parks presented his mini
mum minority report, which differed
from the majority report chiefly in
forms of expression. The who matter
was postponed until tomorrow, when it
will come up as a special feature of the

yellow Fever at Kew West.

New ORLEANS, May ga special
from Key West says: Mr.. Baker, who
was declared on Saturday to be suffer
ing with yellow fever, died this morning.
His wife, who contracted the disease a
few days later, also died to-day and
was buried several hours after
her husband. Both developed
the most malignant symptoms, and
threw up black vomit before ther deaths.
A sister of Mrs. Baker. who resided in
the same house, which is situated on the
principel street in the heart of the city,
is also down with fever, but her case is
not hopeless. The disease is undoubtedly
traced to some bedding recently brought
from Havana. The appearance of
yellow fever so early III the season,
which will restrict all communication
with outside ports, is depressing all
business interests here. While the
cases of fever that have occurred are
considered to be sporadic, several other
suspicious cases are said to exist which
may develop into yellow fever The
health authorities are urging the citi-
zens to adopt the strictest. sanitary
measures

MRS. DON CAMERON AND BABY.

Little Martha Cameron is older now
than she was when the photograph
from which this sketch is made was
taken. She has become even prettier,
and the little fuZ which you see here
has grown into long blonde hair. Both
Mrs. Cameron and the senator pride
themselves upon the baby being like
them in feature, and Senator Cameron
spends great deal of time
III playing with and admiring it.
Mrs. Cameron believes in open air for
infants. and this young lady spends most
OF her time in riding about the parks of
Washington with her nurse. 1t is the
first child that has blessed the senator's
marriage, and, if blood tells, it ought to
be remarkable woman. Mrs. Cameron
Is one OF the most accomplished and at
the same time one of the most beautiful
women in Washington society. She
looks more like young girl than a SEN
atOrial mother, and she is one of the
leaders of the court society here in con-
nection with Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs.
Whitney.
Speaking of Mrs. Whitney. her baby
has already national reputation. The
sketch is drawn from a photograph
which was taken this week. and the
photograph is a very good representa-
ton OF both baby and mother. The
baby's name is Dorothy Payne Whitney,
and Mrs. Whitney has received many
compliments upon the selection of the
name. Dorothy means God given"
and she tells me she has received
number of letters regarding the baby
from other DOrothys all over
the country. One little child
from the far West writes that she would
like very much to have photograph of
the baby, and that her mother has told
her that it was born with gold spoon in
its mouth. This is the first time. she
says, she ever heard of such thing,
and she wants Mrs. Whitney to send her
picture of the baby and the spoon.
Mrs. Whitney modestly says it is good
ordinary baby, and she does not approve
of the eXtravagant reports that are sent
out about it. The baby, she says, has no
wardrobe of lace and silks. such as are
described in the newspapers. Its clothes
are neatly but plainly made. and she
was touched by receiving an enthusiastic
letter from an old lady in Tennessee in
closing psi: of socks for little Doro-
statement that her baby's clothes were
plain. The old lady went on to say that
she was very glad that Mrs. Whitney
was such sensible woman. She did
not approve of the frills and furbelOwS
which modern fashion puts upon ba-
bies' clothes, and she sent this
pair of socks, which she had knitted
herself in the plainest manner,
that they might correspond with the
rest of the baby'S costume. Though

these tenement houses, each six stories
high, and each having fire-proof
staircase open to the front, by which
the upper tenements are reached. At
the top of each fiighi of stairs is a slate
balcony, protected by an iron railing.
From the ends of each balcony Railways
run back, and private halls, admitting
to the rooms of each dwelling, lead
from each hallway. The rear of the
buildings opens on a large court about
100 feet square. The apa tments are
not only separate and distinct, but all
the rooms have direct sunlight. Sitting
and living rooms have fire-plaees and
mantelS. There are closets with hooks
and shelves, dresser in the living
room, which is kitchen and dining room,
and coal box which will hold a
quarter of ton. The height of
the Cling is feet inches in the clear
and the windows are large and extend
close to the ceiling. The extension, a
small room 7lsX5 feet, contains an ash
tiue, sink, a stationary wash tub, a
window and water closet, with separ-
ate outside window. The ashes come
down the flue into large ash rooms in
the rear of the cellar and are promptly
removed by the landlords carts. The
StaircaSeS are slate and not only fire
proof, but cannot be reached by any fire
that might occur in the building. The
StalrwayS are open to the air so that no
smell OF cooking can linger about the
place. All the closets have vent pipes
nd oil -,
The blocks are divided up into three
room and five-roOm apartments, and
the rents vary from one dollar and sixty
cents a week for the top floor to three
dollars and ten cents a week for the
ground floor.
This description sof the construction
of these buildings, which are regarded
the model tenement houses of this coun-
try, may be of value to builders who
contemplate erecting similar buildings
III this city. 1t may also be of value to
them to know something of the man
agement of this system OF Improved
Dwellings," Tenants are not allowed to
Sublet their apartments, or to take
dodgers, and if they are disordely they
are not permitted to remain, The rents
are payable weekly in advance, and
when four or more weeks rent is paid
in advance deduction of ten cents
week on the amount of the rent is
made. Once Il year to those who pay
the rent promptly a dividend of five
dollars is given to tenants of two rooms
and ten dollars to the occupants of the
largest suites. The StricteSt discipline
is enforced which is said to have most
excellent moral effect: the tenants i'm
prove in their manners, their methods of
living and in bringing up their children.
n summer house is erected in the yard
and a little shed for the children. be-
meath which Oh hot summer days they
can play i'll nice clean sand, which is
literally provided for them. In the
summer season, from June to October. a
band of music plays two hours day.
Aside from the philanthropic view of
providing these homes for the working
people of Brooklyn, Mr.TAYLEURE says
the enterprise yields 6 per cent. Oh
s25O,0OO investment, thus proving a bless
ing to the poor and the capitalists alike.

Indemnity WITHDRAWALS.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The letter OF
Secretary Lamar to the president of GER
tain indemnity Withdrawals is only the
first step towards a general revocation
of all indemnity Withdrawals remaining
in all parts of the country. Secretary
Lamar said:
am fully convinced that all the lands
which have been withdrawn from settlement
at various times to allow the land grant cor
porations to select indemnity lands from
ought to be reopened without delay to settle
ment and this is what | shall do. Every in
demnity withdrawal will be revoked by me
without unnecessary delay. My first order on
the subject simply clears the ground for the
complete action on which have determined
l shall revoke every indemnity withdrawal
and open all indemnity lands to settlers at
once. Within the granted limits the land
grant corporations have certain rights to the
exclusion of the people. This is by act of
congress. Within the indemnity limits the
corporations have their rights of selection

Employers Back Down.

I. CHICAGO, May 23.-ThiS evening the
demand that every workman in the
building trades of Chicago sign card
of principles formulated by the employ
ers, was radically modified: Only an
be- required. By this act the
most salient features of the
building contractors fight against the
trades unions was virtually amended
out of existence, and the proposed at
I Tempt to make $4,000 workmen individ-
ualIy subscribe in writing to their en-
ployers' code has been abandoned. The
amending was done at a meeting of
the building interests council. Among
those present at the meeting were the
five members of the executive board of
the National Association of Builders.
The reason given was that the Master
Masons' association did rot think the
clause requiring the signature of each
workman could be carried into effect,
especially i'll those trades where no dis
turbance now existed.

THE PRESIDENT.
A Patriotic Letter of Regret Sent
to New Haven.

10 NEW 11aVen.
New HAVEN, Conn.,. May 23.-The
president and Mrs. Cleveland will be
unable to attend the monument dedica-
ton June II, for reasons given in the
following letter received this morning:
Executive Mansion, Washington, May 20
Hon. Samuel A. York mayor aud chairman
elect: My Dear Sir: The invitation which
was rendered me few weeks ago to be pres
ent on the occasion of the dedication of the
soldiers and sailors monument at New
Haven, on the 18th day of June next, has re-
manned unanswered in the hope that might
be able to accept the same, when other plans
and arrangements were definitely fixed.
sincerely regret that l am obliged to relin-
quish the anticipations of joining in these in
teresting exercises, which will serve as
tribute of love and yeneratiOn to the patriot
ism of the sons of Connecticut illustrated in
all the wars of our country. The citizens of
a state so rich as yours in honorable tradi-
tons, related to heroic sacrifice and so full
of the sturdiness which hardy love of lib
erty teaches, do well to erect to the memory
of her fallen heroes monuments which shall
constantly remind future generations that all
they have and all they enjoy was dearly
bought, and that their inheritance of peace
full prosperity is charged with an obligation
of honor and affection for those from whom
it descended, and with duty Of its preserva-
ton by the exercise of patriotic citizenship.
Yours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

ADemocrat Endorses whaley

To the Editor of the Globe
, Your dispatch from Prairie du Chen
i'll your issue of the Goth inst. would,
without some explanation, leave upon
the minds of your readers an erroneous
impression. Maj. Edward A. Whaley
has an exceptional good record as SOL
dier and public official. From your cor
respondents own statement it appears
the Democrats were not united on any
one person as successor to Mai. Whaley
who has proved himself thoroughly
efficient postmaster. In this case, at
least, it would seem that President
Cleveland does not propose that the re-
public shall be ungrateful to its defend
crS. If it can be shown that there was
a Democrat equally as deserving and
capable as Mai. Whaley, then | grant
that he should give way, but no such
showing has been made. Mai. Whaley
is not the partisan he is pictured. When
G.. NJ. Woodward was elected to con-
grcss, he gave him aid and comfort in
his election. When all the facts in this
case arc known, it will be found that
the administration has done the proper
thing in reappointing Mai. Whaley.

the wrist and arm began to swell and a
physician was summoned. He found
that the child had been bitten by a
spider and applied antidotes. The
child's arm continued to swell, despite
the doctors efforts, and shortly after

Valuable Dog Dead.

BosToN, May 2S.-The great st. Ber-
nard dog, Merchant Prince, which was
owned by John Moore, of Melrose, Mass,
a well known kennel man, died tonight
after sickness of two or three days.

the largest and heaviest dog in the coun-
try, if not III the world, his weight being
220 pounds. He was Imported
in 1856 by Mr.. Moore, and
since then he has taken over
twenty first-class prizes and last year
took the first prize in the Boston kennel
show. Before being brought here his
owner had been awarded fifteen first
class prizes at the various exhibitions
Throughout Europe. During the past
year Mr.. Moore is said to have been of
fcred $4,000 for him, but refused to
part with him. The dog was great
favorite among the neighbors on ac-
count.of his atfeetionate disposition and
remarkable intelligence.

A CANAL PROJECT.
The Scheme to Connect Big Stone
and Traverse Lakes.

Special to the Globe.
Browns VALLEY, May 23.-The peo--
pie here are enthusiastic in their advo-
cacy of the connecting of Big Stone and
Traverse lakes by canal, and 1T is be-
lieved all the the towns interested will
vote the necessary bonds. The meeting
recently held here was a rouSer, and it
has set the scheme well on its feet. AT
that meeting short addresses were made
by Messrs. Todd, Benjamin Reisdorf,
CroSSfield, Barrett, MarOney, Prescott
and many others. All the speakers were
very enthusiastic, and by facts and
figures showed plainly that on the
completion of this canal would come
a source of much benefit to this country.
1t would reduce freightS and give our
farmers the benefit of the SharpeSt OF
competition in the wheat market. BY the
reduction of freightS will come CORE
spending reduction in the price of goods
we buy. After the matter had been
ably discussed and thoroughly aired,
the following standing committee was
appointed, whose duty it is to negotiate
with Mr.. Kearcher and enter into con-
tract with him for the building of the
proposed canal, provided the towns in
terested decide to vote bonds for the
purpose: James III. Flood. chairman;
George McLane, w. d. Prescott,
George Magoon, James Maroney
William Wilson, A. NJ. Graham, w
p. Todd, ii. W. Barrett, NJ. |.
Mathews, Charles Sigloh, &. b.
Chesley, Of. r. .Bahr, G. w. Freer,
William Crane and Ben Reisdorf, of
Becker, OAK; J. Ii. Lange, of Lake.
Oak. 1t was also made the duty Of this
committee to ascertain as near as pos
sible what towns interested aSs willing
to vote bonds for the canal in proportion
to the amount of their assessed valua-
ton. Immediately after adjournment
the committee met and perfected an or
ganiZation. They also informed Mr..
Kearcher by letter that they were ready
to meet and enter into contract with
him. 1t is quite likely that he will meet
the committee in short time, after
which the various towns will be asked
to call special elections to vote on the
bond question

GIVE ME BACK MY LOVE.

Oh! give me back my love, that may have
Once more, within my weary, burdened
heart
The rest which knows no care nor anxious
smart.
For loves unrest there is no healing salye,
And the removing of the hurting shaft
Must be before cure can ever come.
Whatever of happiness be the sum
Which it has brought. And yet, ah me! the
half
OF all the joy of earth was in giving
The love l now would have you give me
back
You knew not how to guard that which you
sought,
And in your strong and ever busy living
You thought not of the hurt which you had
brought,
Or how love was cruciied by loves lack.
